How To Make Air Fryer Apple Scones

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Add the cold butter and work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Add the egg and applesauce, and with the help of a wood spatula, stir until roughly combined. The mixture should barely stick together.

Transfer to a roughly floured surface and shape into a 6-inch wide dish. With the help of a knife, cut out the scones. You should get between 6 to 8, depending on the size.

Spray with cooking spray and place into the air fryer basket. Set the temperature to 350 degrees F, air fryer setting for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Can You Air Fry Scones?

If you love scones, but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen making them, then air frying is the answer. Air-fried scones are fluffy and delicious without all of the added fat that comes from deep-frying.

How To Reheat Scones In The Air Fryer

The air fryer is a great way to reheat scones and other similar baked goods without the need for an oven.

To reheat in the air fryer, place individual scones in the air fryer basket lined with parchment paper, about 3 inches from one another. Set your timer to 5 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit and enjoy!
